(IsraelNN.com) A month after the Committee for the Character of the Jewish People was created by senior haredi-religious rabbis to establish a list of modest vacation spots, 20 hotels in Israel have committed to accommodating the group's directives. The new modesty standards include having televisions locked away in the closet, internet connections only being offered to married couples, an option to separate the beds, and agreeing to act according to the instructions of current rabbinical religious authorities.

Five of the hotels agreed to maintain the standards all year long, while the other 15 hotels committed to institute the during busy times for haredi-religious guests. All 20 hotels have agreed that their failure to maintain the standards will result in the public being notified that they are no longer authorized by the committee.
